Kathy & Keith, I was sorry to hear of Dixie's passing. You were fortunate to have her for so many years. When Rick's Mom was at the nursing home and before Covid, I got to see her often. Kathy, you were so devoted to her and she always had everything she needed. My prayers are for you both during this sad time.

Kathy, We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. You always took such good care of your mother and always made sure she had everything she needed and wanted. Aunt Dixie was such a sweetheart and I still have several of the dolls she made me and I will cherish them and her always! We love you!

Kathy, so sorry to hear of Dixie's passing. I remember when she was able you kept her at your home and her walker was always decorated with flowers for each season. When she returned to the care facility you made sure her room was decorated with flowers. I know you were the best daughter any mother could have. May God be with you during this difficult time.
